To start, I will post one more time about my weight loss efforts. I began on August 1, 2006, shortly after the birth of my second baby. In pain after a c-section (recovery would have been way easier if I had been thin to start), I hobbled around the block with Abba and the stroller. I joined weight watchers online shortly after that. After 7.5 months of calorie counting and exercise, I've lost exactly 50 lbs. I'm at my primary goal of 150. It really is the most awesome feeling in the world!
The first pic is me after losing almost 15 lbs, at the end of Sept. The second (excuse the awful socks!) was taken last week, at 153 lbs.
I apologize to anyone who has gotten bored or annoyed at this being my main topic of conversation. It's just that, aside from my kids, I have never been so excited about something before. I appreciate your patience.

hey chickie.... if anyone's tired of hearing you express your pride in yourself for your hard work, tell them to GET OVER IT!! You look absolutely fabulous, and have EVERY right to brag your heart out! You are also setting a great example to your children, showing them there are things in life that take patience and hard work, but the rewards are endless. Congratulations!! :-)
